Sounds like he did a Lorenzo, but details are slim.

I guess it is admirable he is still pushing the limit even though he could retire comfy. I doubt I would if I was in his position.

he is or was racing in the german sbk series.
Other than who he is, why is this newsworthy? It's funny that this is everywhere. Crashes happen in varying degrees at every test and race. He wasn't seriously hurt. Went to hospital and then home. Must've been a slow news day.

"Reports vary: He might have two broken ribs and the inability to get the REM song "Losing My Religion" out of his head, only this time it's from a slight concussion."

I'm assuming it's some sort of inside joke, but it still made me laugh. Personally I'd rather have the broken ribs.
